A Concise Introduction to Software Engineering

Product Description

Software engineering is an integral part of studies in computer science and consequently foundational knowledge is critical to all students in the field. This text focuses on the essential elements, providing readers with the basic skills and introductory knowledge required to execute a software project successfully.
Following the winning formula and easy-to read style of the author’s previous An Integrated Approach to Software Engineering, this reader-friendly text is written specifically for undergraduates as an introduction to this broad-ranging discipline. With a strong emphasis on practice, this textbook takes a step-by-step approach whereby the key tasks involved in a project are discussed through the course of the book, illustrating the different activities involved in software development.
Features and topics:
• Discusses core concepts and techniques in an introductory easy-to-follow approach
• Offers a solid foundation to this wide-ranging topic
• Focuses only on the essential elements required to complete a software project effectively
• Takes the reader through the project life cycle - applying concepts to practice
• Teaches the skills needed to execute a small commercial project
• Provides the necessary conceptual background for further study in software engineering
• Concentrates on the two key tasks: Engineering and project management
• Each chapter covers one of the key tasks involved in a project
• Includes helpful learning tools such as chapter introductions, chapter goals and self-assessment exercises

What Every Engineer Should Know about Software Engineering

Product Description

Do you… · Use a computer to perform analysis or simulations in your daily work? · Write short scripts or record macros to perform repetitive tasks? · Need to integrate off-the-shelf software into your systems or require multiple applications to work together? · Find yourself spending too much time working the kinks out of your code? · Work with software engineers on a regular basis but have difficulty communicating or collaborating? If any of these sound familiar, then you may need a quick primer in the principles of software engineering. Nearly every engineer, regardless of field, will need to develop some form of software during their career. Without exposure to the challenges, processes, and limitations of software engineering, developing software can be a burdensome and inefficient chore. In What Every Engineer Should Know about Software Engineering, Phillip Laplante introduces the profession of software engineering along with a practical approach to understanding, designing, and building sound software based on solid principles. Using a unique question-and-answer format, this book addresses the issues and misperceptions that engineers need to understand in order to successfully work with software engineers, develop specifications for quality software, and learn the basics of the most common programming languages, development approaches, and paradigms.
